Eight Masked Men Plumber an Express

$4,000 Secured.
Fort Worth lTosasl special. ]

One of the most daring and successful
train robberies ever committed in this State
was perpetrated by eight armed and masked
men two miles east OF Gordon, on the
Texas & Pacific Railroad, between and
o'clock Sunday morning. As the regular
passenger train pulled out from Gordon for
the east two masked men jumped on the
engine. one on each side The engineer,
John Bosquet, turned TO them and asked:
Where are you fellows goingf"
"Just going 10 take little ride, an
swered one of them.
"You will not ride on here, said Bosquet.
Il guess we WILL" said the man, and in
an instant the engineer was covered with
two pistols pointing directly at his head.
He was ordered TO pull ahead, which he
did until he reached the coal chute ut the
trestle bridge, something over mile east
of Gordon. Here the engineer discovered
that distractions had been placed across
the track. and he was ordered by the two
men, who still held their pistols in hand, TO
pull up.
AS soon as the train stopped six more
men, all armed, appeared and ordered the
engineer TO take his pick and hammer and
break in the door of the express car. He

forced the robbers entered aud went
through the safe. taking everything they
could find. The amount of the loss could
not be ascertained exactly. but report
places the amount at sums ranging from
$4,000 TO $4,000.
Having finished the work in the express
car, the robbers went to the mail-car and
made demand on the route agent Tor all
the money or yaluables he had. Thinking
that the robbers would not dare 10 modest
the United States mail, the agent was very
cool, and told the robbers that they were
in the wrong place. and that he was a
United States mail man. This declaration
had no effect on the robbers, who told the
official that unless be complied with their
demands he would soon be a dead man.
There were sixty registered mail packages
in the car. While the robbers were going
through the express matter the mail agent
had secured thirty-two OF them and only
gave up twenty eight TO the robbers.
The passengers were not molested. y
Sheriff who was on the train exchanged
shots with the robbers without effect. There
were also negro soldiers on the train. The
value of the mail packages cannot be esti-
| mated.

Philetus Sawyer was born In Whiting,
Addison County, VT. Sept. %, 1916. His
father was farmer and blacksmith and
lived Mt time and in region where those
employments offered but little return.
When a mere child his father removed to
Essex County New York, where the com
ing Senator's childhood and youth were
spent among the mountains and forests OF
the Adirondncks. His early life, like that
of most of the jewellers In that
region, was one of manual labor with
only the opportunities for education that
the limited resources OF the common
schools nc that time presented. AZ the
age OF IL Philctus Sawyer bought his time
for 500 from his father and started out in
to the world alone. He was so successful

ton TO his old calling, that of logging"

rented n sawmill. which ho finally bought,

HOMELESS.


"A penny. please sir" the pale lips said,
And the voice was low and sweet;
"I'm cold, I'm hungry and homeless tonight,
Ne home in this world but the cold, hard street.
my mother died in the cold last night,
While the fire burned low in the CRATE;
The light went out and the house was dark,
And was alone and afraid. so late.
"But mother said that God would care
For her poor little orphan girl.
And prayed so hard TO lake her child
From this cold and wicked world"
A tear stole down to the brown coat sleeve,
As if ashamed to be seen,
And the proud stern face grew pale as death,
As she said her name was "Were Kathleen"
"My child-your mother-did abe bear that name p
Through the pa'e lips came in gasps;
my God !" he cried, as the answer came.
"I've found her too late, at last, at last!"
Found who, and what?" the little one said;
"Did you know her-my mother--onc day!
she was good and kind, but always sad.
For she said her father had turned her away"
The proud form bent and lifted the child,
And the tears fell down like the rain,
While angels listened 10 hear the vow:
